It has been quite some time since Nokia lunched capable and modern phone like the Nokia 808 PureView.

Nokia Asha 306 product review

Nokia Asha 306 product review - today I am going to present you one of the low cost Nokia smartphones. Nokia Asha 306 is an affordable smartphone with 3-inch (7.6-cm) resistive touchscreen display with resolution of 400x240 pixels and 65536 colors. The hardware performance of the Nokia Asha 306 is provided by the 1GHz processor.

Nokia Asha 306 blue

Nokia claims this phone comes with the ability for downloading 40 EA games for free which sound like a good deal for those looking for a gaming phone. I myself use my phone very rarely for gaming purposes or multimedia but this is another story.Connection options - Nokia Asha 306 is a very capable Internet phone. The built in 802.11 b/g Wifi connection, EDGE, and GPRS will provide you with fast Internet connectivity. Unfortunately this is not a 3G phone, neither there is a built-in GPS but this is completely understandable considering the low price of the phone. Connecting with other devices is easy with the Bluetooth (2.1 + EDR) connection which is available for Asha 306.

Camera and videoNokia Asha 306 has a very basic 2.0 MP rear camera without flash. Its video recording capabilities are also very poor. Another front facing camera isn't available in Asha 306.Battery Nokia Asha 306 has a strong 1100mAh battery which is good for few days of moderate usage.Price - Nokia Asha 306 costs around £100 in UK ($150 in US and around 140 Euros in EU) and it is one of the cheapest touch smartphones with WiFi. Of course you can find it much cheaper with contract (in case you need one).

Quick test drive and video review of the spacious Ford Grand C-MAX

Ford Grand C-MAX review - first of all I would like to say that the Ford Grand C-MAX is a very good looking vehicle and that is very important for a car that claims to attract young families and people looking for smaller utility vehicles. The C-MAX has a modern design that follows Ford's kinetic style features inside and out. By being the second generation of this family line the new C-MAX looks settled and a bit sporty at the same time.

Ford Grand C-MAX

The interior of the Grand C-MAX feels very roomy and it actually is quite a spacious car. One of the big advantages of this car is that offers the extra two rear seats in the back of the car in case you need to carry more than four people. It is quite an useful feature for those who need it of course.The instruments are well laid out and most of the controls are logical and easy to use. The new C-MAC can be equipped with all the features and extras of a luxury vehicle including leather interior, satellite navigation and panoramic roof.Actually the interior feels quite nice and upmarket for a vehicle of this price segment.As talking for the price the fully equipped Ford Grand C-MAX doesn't come cheap. You will have to spend aroundEngines - Ford Grand C-MAX will come with a choice of petrol and diesel engines offering great fuel economy. Here are the basic specifications of the engines offered with the C-MAX:1.6 L Duratec Ti-VCT is available in three spec, 85PS, 105 hp (78 kW) and 125PS1.6 L EcoBoost comes with 150 hp (112 kW) or 182 hp (136 kW) variant, same as in Focus1.6/2.0 L Duratorq Ford/PSA made diesels are upgraded, Ford's 1.8 L Endura engine is not available any more
